Reviews of The Two Bridges Ale House & Kitchen

A. H.

Nice little Ale House with an upstairs room for functions. The staff were nice. Food is on offer but I didn't order anything so I can't really comment on prices but people seemed to be enjoying it. Would go back if something is on there otherwise too far out of my way for a quick pop in.

D. B.

The place is outstaffed, so I waited for food about 40 minutes. The only guy serving so many people was so busy so I even got my drink in 5 minutes (the guy did his best, thanks to him)

I wandered in for my first time 2 years ago expecting a tourist trap. However it’s thoroughly defied that assumption, and is hands-down one of my favorite pubs in London. My partner and I love it every time we come. Great vibe and food and pricing is awesome too! I also would be remiss not to mention the amazing service, too. For the impressive location so close to Tower Bridge, you normally expect central London pubs to have crummy service (and sour looking bartenders, like at the 2 further locations we visited afterward). Contrary to the norm, they’ve got it all: Both bartenders were so welcoming and friendly, the food is awesome, and the old authentic English pub feel and festive decor + fireplace makes it a 10/10 for my partner and I! We can’t stop coming back! Very inclusive, friendly, and overall amazing pub.

J. S.

I find it nice. Food was great for a price range and staff was friendly. Will be back 😊

A. W.

Great team! This pub has come a long way since 2017. Beautifully renovated. Great beer selection and a menu to make everyone happy. Fabulous TV screens. Great place to gather and watch a game. You'll definitely want to come back. Thanks for making us feel at home ladies and gents!

S. B.

Bit pricy, but good location by London Bridge and a nice building. Reasonably filling pie, mash and veg. Portion was a little small for what we paid, but it tasted good. Prompt, friendly service 👍

J. M.

Marvellous trad pub with great ales and a wide range of spirits and lagers. Quiet and serene atmosphere where you can take any one of your family or friends no matter what age. Top drawer.

B. T.

If you're looking for... A great place to watch rugby. Plenty of space, two floors, loads of screens and decent Guinness to boot.

D. R.

On our way to the London Bridge we got off the bus and spotted this pub. It was the middle of the day so it was empty, the fireplace was so inviting on the cold day we were sightseeing. Ordered a meat pie, came with mash and peas and had a few well drinks. The place looks spectacular and the servers were extremely friendly. Wanted to come back later that night.

S. H.

What a great pub friendly atmosphere and the lady and gentlemen behind the bar this evening are 1st class my new home in London when I visit. Keep up the great work Simon and Gill xxxx

N. S.

Surprisingly quiet mid-afternoon for a decent friendly pub so near to London Bridge station.

A. v.

I popped in with My wife and child whilst the football was on.. the staff were great, really friendly. The food was really good as well. We can't wait to pop back in next time we are in London

S. t. M.

Good pub. Variety of tap beers are not that impressive, but not crowdy, good atmosphere and all the english football fixtures are shown

S. S.

While visiting London I came across this pub in a beautiful old building. Great and cheap drinks (compared to other central London pubs) with a nice atmosphere to hang out with friends. The staff was helpful and friendly.

K. M.

Great beer, good prices and amaaazzing nachos! They're better than any other wetherspoons nearby. Loved two bridges!

L. 1.

Staff are top notch, very welcoming. This what all local pubs should be like!

2. C. D.

Lovely friendly busy pub. But please get the barman some help poor guy was run off his feet.

Great night out with some upcoming comedians.

J. D.

Good venue, but a bit understaffed for the big events and whereas 2 staff were impressive, one was not. Would have been 3... But those espresso martinis and shared chips pushed it up!

P. H.

Top notch local. Furnished and decorated to a high standard. Friendly and welcoming bar staff. Serves decent pub grub. Shows live sports (but muted in favour of background music which sets a great vibe). Highly recommended

D. S.

Very nice place to relax after work or any other time,didn't try any food but the place looks great and the service also

J. W.

Great welcome had a lovely lunch 😋

R. R.

Really good fish and chips!! Nice place and good location

J. C.

Great food and drinks. Good place to watch sports.

A. G.

Friendly place with a nice e beer selection.

Good selection of beers, great staff. Run away from the custard tart - it is actually frozen and then heated. If you are as lucky as we were, you might find it also burnt in the middle but still a bit frozen on the outside.

M. J.

Very friendly staff. A cheeky wait as you comply to the safety measures but worth it. Fantastic interior and hugely geared for sport if that's what you're in to. You've the pick of the litter in the area so it's the service that makes it worth a visit or three.

R. R.

Nice pub with friendly staff who looked after us well. Thank you.

G. T.

Nice pub, good selection

M. L.

I really like their refurb. It has a nice atmosphere, really comfy chairs, good tables, and most importantly really friendly service. The selection of beer is good, and my trial of their new food menu was nice too. Will definitely be coming again after work, and bringing people with me

d. p.

Went I before luton played Millwall 2 test both with football on⚽️🍻

S. W.

Nice and cosy with an excellent selection of beers

V. T.

We went here on Saturday afternoon, and I felt that the ambiance was the best thing about this pub. There is a bright, airy feel to this place. The interior decor has a romantic flair to it with wooden floors and wooden furniture. The bar area sits right in the middle and over it there is a chandelier made of wine glasses - that was cool. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is not that good. I had the chips here and I felt they were cut way to thickly. I would only come back here for drinks.

R. M.

Nice old style London pub with high ceilings and an open feel. We did not eat there but the menu looked good. Great views over the road to the park and only a stones throw from Tower Bridge and the river. Worth a visit.

D. D. J.

Nice pub with a decent choice of beer on tap (Meantime, shipyard plus some cask options). The food is good too and there's additional seating upstairs. Great for a post work point or pub lunch.

P. S.

Great pub for drinks. A little too antsy about us sitting at a reserved table 1.5 hours before the booking and asking us to move elsewhere midway through our drinks means a star missing.

F. R.

Nice and cosy pub!

M. P.

What's not to like? Bridges - yay, lounge - all over it, dinning - yes please! In all seriousness it's a lovely bar with good bar food. I especially like their range of drinks as I don't like beer and the bridge has a good selection of fruity ciders. The upstairs seating area is a hidden gem

E. N.

Had our wedding reception here. They went out their way to make the day very special. The food is very good and the staff were extremely helpful. I will always recommend this place for any type of party and you can rent out the upstairs separately from downstairs if you wish (we rented the whole place for for a little more). All the money on renting the place out came off the bill at the end of the night.

M. K.

I liked the open fire and is laid out nicely inside. Calling itself an ale house though........ The selection wasn't great at all and the only dark ale /beer they had was Guinness! Very disappointed!

I. B.

Friendly barstaff great food & a lovely pint

d. s.

It was one of the best burgers they i have ever eaten. The chips are very delicious too. The time from order to serve was less 10 minutes.

H. M.

Amazingly friendly service, especially the irish guy who helped with food order and let us try a sample of a different beer! Food was great too!

S. B.

The good pub in the good moment. Very close of the View and the Bridge Tower.

A. S.

Decent atmosphere and looks good since the revamp. Quite buzzy and has plenty of screens showing sport. Good selection of draught IPA, ale and lager.

M. A.

They have huge windows which make for a great atmosphere. The upstairs is also great with a few couches. The staff have always been friendly as well. Perfect location if you're in the area for visiting Tower Bridge and the Shard.

G. S.

This is a great place for an after work drink. Quiet, sophisticated and by far superior to the nearby Shipwright Arms. There is no music, which is great at a time when peace is required in an era when music is deafening and justified in the name of atmosphere.

M. T.

I was a little split on how to review The Bridge as it's my work local and easily the best pub (of 2) within a 10 minute walk however I decided to be slightly more neutral and as a result it gets a 3. There's nothing particularly wrong with the pub apart from the square bar in the middle which can lead to a nightmare getting served as the bar staff tend to focus on little pockets of it and leave a lot unattended. Your best be would be to head upstairs, grab a comfy couch and then rely on table service. Drink selection is OK. There tends to be more choice with bottles than tap although they do serve Kirin lager which is a favourite of mine and they tend to have 2 guest ales on a fairly regular rotation. I've tried a few of the bar snack type offerings and and again these are OK but nothing startling however I have seen signs offering sausage and mash for £5 on a Monday which is tempting! Drinks come in at around £4.70 a pint which is expensive but fairly typical for London unfortunately. Overall I haven't really got anything against The Bridge Lounge. It's just OK

S. N.

Whole place has been refurbished in a good location on tooley street, 100 metres (0.1km) away london bridge. The bar is in the centre of the ground floor so it can be attacked from 3 sides (trust me...3 sides) good seating with a view up stairs.

M. S.

Good pub with lots of character!

R. B.

I wouldn't say this is the best place for food but it is a great pub. Ben the manager is great and does his best to make you feel welcome. Go for a few pints! Makes a good Friday night with friends.

A. G.

I've been here several times, it has a nice atmosphere, the staff are friendly and professional and ther4e is a choice of craft beer on offer and other World Beers which makes it a definite winner for those of us with a taste for trying new things. Typical London prices.

J. J.

Great place for after-work drinks - lots of room upstairs in the light and airy first floor - brilliant for bigger groups and space can be reserved in advance. Craft lager available as well as quite a few ales.

T. E.

Excellent good value food, first rate beer and friendly service make this a must compared to the overpriced chains in the area. Grub is homemade and the atmosphere in the airy bar very amenable . Would recommend.

M. T. D.

Super friendly service. Had some good banter with the staff and a great selection of drinks on tap.

A. F.

Local pub with decent beers and terrace. Quiet atmosphere, good for a drink with colleagues after work. Closes around 11 and is quite crowded on the weekend.

S. D.

I visit this place with a friend, while we were in the area. We order couple of beers, some chips and onion rings. The area upstairs is nice..opened and bright. Polite and smiley staff. I do not regret we decided to stop by.

G. A.

Food was mediocre for the price, waiting staff got multiple orders wrong and took time, went with a group of 8. Edit: Have gone a few more times, staff haven't had orders wrong since that time so I am raising my rating.

E. E.

Absolutely delicious veggie burger, real ‘meaty’ flavour of sage and a chewy brioche bun. Decor isn’t that interesting but price is good and staff very helpful.

J. D.

OKish pub with patchy ale selection. Reasonable wines. To call it a dining room is stretching a point. Think bangers and mash on the tourist run and you get the idea.

D. C.

A proper pub. Great ale selection and fun atmosphere.

D. H.

Really nice pub. Great drinks selection and food is good too. Plenty of big TVs for sports too.

L. T. L. (. U.

Nice pub friendly staff 😎

K. M.

Nice bar, nice staff, really good pint

M. W.

Went in on 11 July. Sensible social distancing measures - not too forced, friendly, welcoming. Good service!

M. D.

Great pub with a nice fireplace

J. K.

A nice bright matter of fact pub with a central bar offering at least three real ales. Literally across the road from City Hall and just a short walk from both Tower Bridge & London Bridge Station.

C. H.

Small cosy pub, friendly and helpful staff. Food good reasonably priced. Ham the waiter is a star

D. B.

They do rugby and food

s. s.

Not very good if you're after proper beer Marston's IPA only draft apart from doombar agh

Good pub, only two real ale pumps.l, but selection usually good. Good atmosphere inside. Worth a visit.

J. P.

Very nice. Pricey beer in these here parts, but the food is good and very reasonably priced.

T. B.

Very nice pub

P. D.

I think recently refurbished. Nice pub good atmosphere. worth the extra walk from the shipwrights arms which is too busy

S. C.

Rather chilly inside on a windy day. Long wait for food but good when it arrived. Staff friendly but same can't be said for the manager on duty.

J. B.

Really great place for a work lunch, I didn't eat but definitely got food envy over the fish and chips another table had ordered!

D. H.

Today 18/02 called in and the kitchen was closed for repairs. Recommend you check first if your plan on eating here.

(Translated) Traditional English pub with nice service. In the heart of London, close to the River Thames and Tower Bridge. You have a choice between the ground floor and the first floor. In addition to good beer, you can also eat something. Worth a visit 👍 great atmosphere good beer and friendly service .... do you need something more ...? (Original) Tradycyjny angielski pub z fajną obsługą. W sercu Londynu, blisko Tamizy i Tower Bridge. Masz do wyboru parter i piętro. Oprócz dobrego piwa można też coś zjeść. Warto odwiedzić 👍 great atmosphere good beer and friendly service .... do you need something more ...?

S. D. B.

(Translated) Typical English pub, ceramic tiled walls and leather sessions. It is necessary to order at the counter and collect its consumption to take it to the table, sooner or later you understand why no one looks out to tell you, the staff remains fixed behind the counter. The positive aspect is that during the Christmas period he was still open late in the evening, while other rooms of the same street were already closed. It can be reached quietly by the long river where you can admire the imposing Tower Bridge. Has WiFi service. Interesting menu and appreciable price list. (Original) Tipico pub inglese, muri piastrellati in ceramica e sedute in pelle. Occorre ordinare al banco e ritirare la propria consumazione per portarla al tavolo, prima o poi si capisce perché non si affaccia nessuno a dirtelo, il personale resta fisso dietro al bancone. L'aspetto positivo è che nel periodo natalizio era ancora aperto in tarda serata, mentre altri locali della stessa via erano già chiusi. Si raggiunge tranquillamente a piedi dal lungo fiume dove si ammira l'imponente tower bridge. Ha servizio WiFi. Menù interessante e listino apprezzabile.

N. H.

(Translated) Very good restaurant / classic pub which is definitely worth a visit :) Especially nice was the service with which you could chat a bit. Not to mention the food, there were four of us there and no one could complain about something. Portions are sufficient and prices also i.O. (Original) Sehr gutes Restaurant/Klassischer Pub was auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert ist :) Besonders nett war der Service mit dem man auch ein wenig plaudern konnte. Nicht zu vergessen das Essen, wir waren zu viert dort und keiner konnte sich über etwas beschweren. Portionen sind ausreichend und Preise auch soweit i.O.

(Translated) Nice lounge to eat deliciously. The food they offer is very powerful. We ordered 2x ham, eggs and chips, 1 beer and an orange juice. We lost less than 25 pounds. We were greeted friendly on arrival and were able to order immediately. It is highly recommended. (Original) Leuke lounge om heerlijk te eten. Het eten dat ze aanbieden is erg machtig. Wij hadden 2x ham, eggs and chips besteld, 1 bier en een jus D'Orange. We waren nog geen 25 pond kwijt. We werden vriendelijk begroet bij aankomst en konden direct bestellen. Het is een heuse aanrader.

(Translated) I entered unconvinced, urged more by the rush than by its appearance, but it turned out to be a good place to eat and a "cheap" place if we take into account that it is in one of the most tourist areas of London. (Original) Entré poco convencido, urgido más por las prisas que por su aspecto, pero resultó ser un buen sitio para comer y un lugar "barato" si trnemos en cuenta que está en una de las zonas más turísticas de Londres.
